Reddit poster caucusing in Maine has reported Hillary campaigners twice for illegal activity.

I am standing by at my caucus site (things look good for Bernie, judging by the posters), and found check-in volunteers distributing Clinton material TWICE. Both times I reported to the precinct chair (who I looked up beforehand) and the materials were taken away.

the Hillary people had an elderly lady positioned at the door to the gym trying to put a Hillary sticker on each person as they entered. My husband and I were volunteering for Bernie, so we asked her why she was supporting Hillary. She said she hadn't made her mind up who she was supporting, but they asked her to pass our stickers.

Maybe Hillary camp thought people wouldn't say no to a nice elderly lady, but they did. We ran out of stickers, signs and bumper stickers an hour and a half before the caucus started!

W00T!!

and that it was okay at a caucus.

Here in MN many of us were wearing our candidates buttons and shirts.

And I'd said nothing mean, nothing malicious, etc. This Cha and her group definitely have major "issues"!

I took it as a badge of honor that even the mildest comment is profoundly intolerable to them.

Take after Hillary perhaps?

perfect arguments for Bernie supporters to tear apart. Their arguments only stand up if no one can reply to them.

My transgression? I was only warning them that some of their most prominent members were rabidly anti-Hillary back in '08. The host agreed with me and asked me to delete my post. I said there was nothing wrong with my post it didn't name names, was truthful, and the host agreed with me. I was then banned. Don't remember the host's name nor do I care.
